Templates slow to open

I have several templates (which bring up forms) on my PC. Word 2002 opens them very slowly. I have tried several things, deleting normal.dot, reinstalling Office XP and others. When I make a change to a specific autotext, it seems to help with opening the templates regularly, but when I close out of word and get back in the same problems occur. I have also tried reinstalling the templates. Any .dot file opens slowly. Any suggestions. I have all updates, and am running Win XP and Office XP.

Try checking under tools/templates and addins to verify that there are no documents being referenced that do not exist. I've seen where this will lock up word when a document is opened as it tries to find the document and fails.

Setting Security Levels in Office ApplicationsMicrosoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint can be set to a high, medium, or low security level.

High security Macros must be signed by a trusted source. Otherwise, macros in documents are automatically disabled without notice when the documents are opened. Word is set to the high security level by default.
